ANTI-INFLAMMATORY SMOOTHIE from @WELLANDAWAKE

I'm always looking for new smoothie recipes, especially ones that are beneficial to my health and a bit different than the 'norm'. Here is an anti-inflammatory smoothie recipe from Well and Awake that uses Strawberry & Basil with a little of my own extra take on it.

This smoothie is more hearty (especially with the added almonds) and is not meant to be drank as a cleansed (like juice cleanses) or a meal replacement. This anti-inflammatory smoothie is meant to "reduce small intestine inflammation and overall acidity in the body."

LEOPARD PRINT IS A NEUTRAL

Last Sunday I went out to brunch with my friend over at Revel Seattle (highly recommended! Read more about it HERE) and wanted to wear something casual, but a bit dressed up.

SUMMER BRUNCH AT REVEL - SEATTLE, WA

Last weekend I went to Revel Seattle again but this time to try out their Summer Brunch menu! Last time I was here was back in November for my birthday (short review HERE ) and it has seriously been too long! As I've mentioned in a previous blog post, Revel is an Asian/Korean fusion place that is owned by Chef  Rachel Yang (along with 3 others in Seattle including, Quoin, Joule, and Trove) and has been gaining a lot of popularity, especially with Trove recently opening.

GEOMETRIC BLACK & WHITE

The weather in Seattle has been slowly getting sunnier (except for today) and that means I can wear more of my favorite dresses out! I wasn't feeling too much in the color mood so this black & white Banana Lemon dress that I found at Marshalls was perfect for the sunny weather.

GARLIC SPEARS & SHRIMP

'Tis the start of the beautiful GARLIC SPEAR season!!! If you have never heard of garlic spears before or tried them, you are really missing out! I believe they come from any garlic (correct me if I'm wrong) and when the garlic bulb is planted in the ground, this long, green, spear like crop comes out and is surprisingly delicious!

PEPSI'S PINK COLA // DRINK REVIEW

Have you ever seen pink cola before?! Well, I'm not sure about you, but I never have and when I saw this at the Japanese grocery store, I had to try it out!

SUSHI KAPPO TAMURA: OMAKASE - SEATTLE, WA

Mother's Day was this past weekend and my brother and I really wanted to take my mom somewhere nice with an awesome Omakase. After asking around, we decided on Sushi Kappo Tamura, located on Eastlake in Seattle. 

COLORFUL SPRING ROOT SALAD

Spring time means new produce in an abundance of colors. It is also the time to try out something new and this is what my mom and I happened to come up with: A beautiful root salad topped with an assortment of goodies.

COMIC CON & SAKURA-CON HAUL

All the items I had ordered from the last two conventions I went to all came in and I thought i'd share a little of it! I'm a huge fan of the whole 'geek/otaku' apparel or whatever you like to call it and I'm super glad to add some of these items to my whole video game/cartoon/anime collection! I'll link anything I can find on the sites so hopefully you guys can get your hands on some of it too!

SPRING LIP PICKS // 2015

I can't believe how fast the year is going (per usual) and it's time to really bring out those brighter lip colors! Don't get me wrong, I love me a nice, dark, lip, but it's nice to change things up a bit. With the month of May just beginning, I thought I'd share my favorite Spring lippies, thus far =)

ETUDE HOUSE DEAR MY JELLY LIPS TALK JOR203

Today I have another Etude House lipstick that I wanted to get up on the blog before I talked about my Spring favorite lippies =) This one is the Sweet Recipe Dear My Jelly Lips Talk in a red-orange shade.
